Health is earned, it is not a right. It depends on what you do most of the time. You really are what you eat, drink, breathe, and even what you think. Here is how Dr. Deepak Chopra, M.D., describes what goes on in human biology over time, from one of his many lectures.
"The physical bodies that you're using to sit on these chairs, for example, aren't the ones that you walked in with a little while ago. Even with one breath you take in 10 to the power of 22 atoms. An astronomical amount of raw material that ends up as your heart, brain and kidney cells, your neurons, your DNA. With each breath you breathe out 10 to the power of 22 atoms. It's an astronomical amount of raw materials that is coming from every bit of your body. You are literally breathing out bits and pieces of your brain tissue and heart and kidney. Actually, technically speaking, we are intimately sharing our organs with each other all the time. The American poet Walt Whitman said, "Every atom belonging to you as well belongs to me." And this isn't a metaphorical statement at all. "Every atom belonging to you as well belongs to me." I can't even call my personal body my own. And I try calling everything else my own. I can't even claim a copyright on my own physical body. Right this moment in your body you have a million atoms that were once in the body of Christ. Based on radioactive isotope studies and mathematical computations it can easily be shown that in this moment of your existence you have a million atoms that were once in the body of Christ, in the body of Gautama Buddha or Leonardo Da Vinci or Michelangelo or Mr. Saddam Hussein. You can't separate yourself from anything physically or anybody that has ever existed. In just the last 3 weeks, a quadrillion atoms, 10 to the power of 15 atoms have gone through your body that have gone through the body of every other species on this planet. And if you do radioactive isotope studies which have been done very elegantly, you can prove beyond a shadow of doubt that you replace 98% of all the atoms in your body in less than one year. You make a new liver every 6 weeks, new skin once a month, a new stomach lining every 5 days, a new skeleton - it seems so hard and solid, but the skeleton you have now you didn't have three months ago. Even the brain cells that you think with as carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen, as those basic elements, they weren't there one year ago. And the DNA that holds memories of millions of years of evolutionary time, in fact hundreds of millions of years; the actual raw material of it comes and goes every six weeks. Those atoms drift in and out like migratory birds every six weeks.
And if you want to be a real stickler about it and account for the last atom and every little sinew and collagen and cartilage, then in less than two and a half years you replace every atom in your body down to the last single atom.
So if you think you are your material body then you certainly have a dilemma. Which one are you talking about? The 1991 model is not the same as the 1990 model or even the one from a few months ago."
So, here are just 6 easy changes you COULD make this week, that would make a world of difference to your health. Try it for a week and see.
1. Drink one cup of coffee when you wake up, then switch to strong green tea after that. Drink it liberally.
2. Eat a big breakfast with protein, some veggies or a little fruit. i.e. An omelet, fresh fruit, low fat cottage cheese.
3. Have a small hand full of raw nuts between breakfast and lunch, and between lunch and dinner, every day. i.e. Raw almonds, walnuts, brazil, or macadamias.
4. Switch to Stevia or local organic raw honey as your only sweetener.
5. Eat before 7 pm and have 4 oz of meat, 1 cup of colorful veggies w/ real butter, or a small salad with lots of color, with a small amount of fresh fruit, nothing packaged or canned.
6. Take a half an hour walk before dinner, or whenever you can fit it in.
If you can fit in a 7th, you know I would recommend a good multi or a super food, examples listed after this weeks articles, video clips, and studies.
Remember, you are never too old to become younger.

Citrus Surprise: Vitamin C Boosts the Reprogramming of Adult Cells Into Stem Cells...

Your Genes Remember a Sugar Hit...
Human genes remember a sugar hit for two weeks. What’s more, prolonged poor eating habits could be capable of permanently altering your DNA.
A team studying the impact of diet on heart tissue found that cells showed the effects of a single sugar hit for 14 days. The cells switched off genetic controls designed to protect the body against diabetes and heart disease. Regular poor eating could amplify the effect, with genetic damage lasting months or years, and potentially passing through bloodlines.

White Rye Bread Healthier Than Whole Wheat?...
Wholegrain bread is good and good for you, as most people know. But it is not only the fiber-rich bran, the outer shell of the grain, that is healthful. On the contrary, research at the Lund University Faculty of Engineering shows that bread baked with white rye flour, which is flour made from the inner, white part of the rye kernel, leads to better insulin and blood sugar levels compared with wheat bread with rye bran. White rye flour thus leads to much better values than both regular wheat flour and rye bran. At the same time, much of the bread that is sold in stores today in most countries is in fact baked with wheat flour and bran from various grains.

Cocktail of five vitamins may give cancer patients an extra two years...
Cancer patients with terminal disease who take a daily cocktail of vitamins could extend their lives by two years or even longer, claim researchers.
Three out of four in a pilot study survived an average of five months longer than the expected one year, and some were still alive three years after treatment started. Dr Bob Lister, co-author of the study by British and Danish researchers, said the results were similar to the survival gains from new drugs and in some cases better.
During the nine-year period, the patients were treated with coenzyme Q10 - a vitamin-like compound-essential for producing energy made naturally in the body - and six other antioxidants including vitamins A, C and E, selenium, folic acid, and beta carotene (which was not given to lung cancer patients for safety reasons). The patients were predicted to live for an average of 12 months, but 76 per cent lived an average of five months longer.
The doses of the supplements, supplied by manufacturers Pharma Nord, were large but were within recommended safety limits, said Dr Lister.
In addition, patients received small amounts of other nutrients including fish oil and B vitamins.
